residency you two are in the same country and that's all that's what
0:49
counts that is true but we were in the same country last week too a different
0:57
country not my country not your and we didn't get to meet up because I got
1:01
really sick yeah that sucks I got food poisoning did you from that from all the
1:08
eggs from putting eggs in beer
1:12
from a cheeseburger from Hungry Jacks oh
1:16
that's ironic I got a cheeseburger at the airport and I know it was the
1:21
cheeseburger because I felt it sitting there and I've gone in the plane I can
1:25
still sitting there and when I get to the hotel I'm going to throw this up in
1:28
a minute and no was definitely the cheeseburger what country were you in

Malaysia okay was it a Hungry Jack or you just called Burger King Hungry Jack
1:41
because you're from Australia I forget I'm just curious May been Burger King I get them
1:46
confused still yeah that's fair no it's just because I worked at Hungry Jacks so
1:52
every time someone mentions it I always think I think back and so for American
1:56
or non- Australian listeners Burger King the trademark was owned in Australia so
2:01
when Burger King opened in Australia they thought up another name Hungry
2:05
Jacks yeah and there was one stage where we had two we had hunger Jacks and
2:09
Burger King and the same time forever there was also a point where in New
2:14
South Wales you you still had to call it Hungary Jacks but in Melbourne in
2:18
Victoria they started being able to call it Burger King yeah right I remember

5:00
while you were there oh that stuff so good I don't think I did it's like fried
5:05
chicken on rice with this chili sauce and these little I and billies I wasn't
5:10
that adventurous eating food after see I used to get so when I worked
5:15
at um I won't say where I worked I worked in um in Sydney and we went to
5:20
God was that [ __ ] suburb anyway it was a whole street full of like
5:22
Indonesian Malaysian food and like um I worked with a couple of guys from there
5:26
and so we go to these restaurants that's where I got the like soft bone chicken
5:29
that I had that's when I still ate meat and that God that food all that food
5:33
every every place on that street was [ __ ] incredible yeah I didn't know
5:37
what I was eating so now that you've said that that that nasty Lamar has got
5:41
the little things in it makes sense delicious I I am upset about one thing I
5:45
did when I got back I screwed up my Judy free
5:49
alcohol oh I could have got more oh one of the ones I picked up I got like a
5:54
twin pack and I was thinking they're both liter bottles they 700 mil bottle I
5:59
could have got another 600 mil of alcohol well rookie mistake you probably
6:06
smuggling quite a few Mills inside you though
6:12
so that probably made up for alcohol's sort of expensive in Malaysia not on a
6:18
plane though is what I'm is what I'm getting at in Vietnam it's
6:24
cheap well Malaysia's Muslim majority they don't want you to drink there they
6:28
prefer it if you did I I there was quite a lot of alcohol in
6:33
me because we got went to the lounge before we got on the flight so I just
6:35
sat there drinking lots of alcohol I did notice every time every
6:40
time we got sent a photo and you said oh just having a quick beer and it was like a [ __ ]
6:45
Stein so yeah with an egg in it Luke did
6:49
you eventually try that I did did yeah I
6:52
did egg be and I still you can't really
6:56
taste the beer yeah I wouldn't oh it's egg and vanilla right it's it's
7:03
condensed milk egg y oh yeah no no no no this is for people who don't like beer
7:08
but there is a I think Hannah took a video so I can post that ah of me
7:14
drinking egg beer did I tell you about my neighbor my two neighbors and I went
7:20
to the pub for lunch one day and uh and we're like should we have a beer yeah
7:25
let's have a beer right so I order a beer and my other neighbor orders a beer
7:28
and then my other neighbor went ah beer eh yeah I drink beer and we're like okay
7:33
good order yourself a beer and he's like M okay and he goes up to the barman and
7:38
he goes what is the weakest beer I could
7:43
possibly order and he goes well kind of the same but maybe this one's a light
7:47
one if you're not really EAS he's okay what is the smallest glass of beer I
7:52
could order and he's like well you can get the little midi he's like right
7:55

8:19
if you don't like it don't drink it yeah don't don't Life's too short for that
8:23
[ __ ] I didn't like beer until I did and I don't I don't really know when that
8:28
that transition it just happened yeah when I was about 18 I
8:34
guess I have found out that I I like the type of beer it took a long time for me
8:38
to work out what type of beer and I hate Australian beer Australian beers are I
8:43
hate a lot of Australian beers too I guarantee I bet let me guess you both
8:47
like German hell's logger kind of [ __ ] yes we do yeah
8:53
that's pure with icy waters of North Sea the
8:59
Purity laws beer laws nothing funny about it call the Purity laws you might
9:04
think that's sus because it's Germany because it's German yeah the Germans are
9:08
very well behaved at the moment oh yeah they don't they don't step out of they
9:13
don't Goose step out of line at all beer is cheaper than water that's
9:17
not a joke it literally is um in Vietnam it's true it was cuz I was doing this
9:23
whole thing alternating and but sometimes it was actually cheaper just
9:26
to have a second beard than it was to buy a bottle of water
9:30
I'm not joking at all a beer was cheaper than a coke at the swamp bar where I
9:35
went to UNI at Western Sydney I remember the swamp bar $5 jugs [ __ ] me I haven't
9:40
been well obviously I haven't been at the swamp bar in a long time didn't to
9:44
say that it' be creepy if you hung out I did go there a lot back in the day
9:49
yeah me too yeah Jolly I went to school there to be clear but I didn't I
9:55
didn't bands there and there were girls exactly bands and girls
10:01
incredbly cheap beer yeah cuz I remember a Coke was was
10:05
$280 but a beer was $2 20 like like a a
10:09
cup of beer and if you brought your own cup it was even cheaper it was 20 cents
10:14
cheaper if they didn't have to wash the glass for
10:19
you I spent many a night there never went to UNI there but spent many a night
10:24
at that bar I didn't graduate from there that was I dropped out of that one I
10:28
went to that uni just not that campus like sure yeah so un need for
10:34
suckers well I didn't oh I didn't finish myg I have other degrees since then but
10:38
uh yeah yeah how many degrees do I have
10:43
zero do I need any probably no one's asked no one's ever
10:50
asked hey um I did get asked when I moved when I moved to Singapore they
10:54
asked they because if you are going to get an expat Visa you have to have a
10:57
degree hey I can oh average average um diplomas in my household I'm doing
11:03
pretty good average because your wife has enough for the both of you yes yeah
11:08
yeah when I I told you I did a background check for a job here and uh
11:12
and they wanted to contact like they wanted to go way back and contact like
11:16
schools that I went to this kind of stuff and I was like I was like good
11:19
luck like they don't [ __ ] exist anymore mate yeah yeah go back to not
11:26
not school this is like an ageny this some so they they hire some company do
11:29
this and they're like oh yeah we need like references we want to contact this
11:31
and I'm I'm like I don't even know where these people are
11:37
like did they ask for like School in the middle of [ __ ] nowhere the school
11:42
doesn't exist anymore cuz America's a place where they're concerned about
11:45
diplomas aren't they they are but they don't understand when I talk about our
11:50
school system anyway so you know yeah true no not that they don't understand
11:54
it's just it's different so it's they kind of like yeah whatever like where
11:58
it's here they go what's your um you know what do they call it
12:04
um I can't even remember what they call them now we we would say like Junior
12:09
seniors they say like freshman freshman all all these things that I'm like I
12:13
don't know what that means high school but you can but you can also be a
12:16
freshman in middle school and then a senior in middle school and then you're
12:20
a freshman again in high school right yeah I don't know what any of that means
12:23
so that's yeah you go to primary school then you go to high school and then you
12:27
go to UNI Maybe I just play Dum look I have these certificates you're just
12:31
going to have to take my word for it that they're legitimate you know what I
12:34
know how to do this job mate either hire me or don't hire me
12:37
exactly ask me if I want the job so call my boss in Sydney he will tell you he he
12:44
loves me and he will he'll tell you that and maybe that'll be enough yeah you
12:47
know what always makes me laugh there's a school in in London called University
12:51
college and that is the most madeup sounding school where did you go I went to
12:56
uh University College in London
13:02
yeah uh well we've sort of been around the world should we jump into some of
13:06
the news we probably should sure that's what people new probably listen to this
13:10
[ __ ] for yes yes that's what they're here for upto-date news now I saw an
13:14
Apple ad this week it's been a long time since I've purchased an iPad but I do
13:19
have an iPad and interested in getting a new your daughter has iPad my daughter has an
13:25
iPad um occasionally I'm allowed to use it to um put on TV shows for her to
13:31
watch yeah but I'd like an iPad of my own occasionally in the future um and I
13:38
saw an ad for for a very thin very thin iPad that packs a lot in very nice
13:43
looking the new iPad and it was yeah well I thought it was a very nice
13:47
looking ad too but apparently people are very angry yeah yeah it's
13:53
interesting so the new iPad Pro specifically is the
13:59
device Apple has ever made which is an interesting statistic that I'm sure they
14:03
and apparently people double checked oh it actually is it's thinner than the
14:06
iPad iPod Nano that's how [ __ ] thin this thing is wow yeah
14:12
right IP Nano wasn't that it's I think you're remember pretty [ __ ] thin
14:18
apparently apparently it's um some of the power cables are slightly wider than
14:23
it like amazing yeah it's really thin this thing there's such a thing as too
14:28
small we're not we're not asking for this someone pointed out they did have
14:32
problems with the old ones bending how the [ __ ] is this one GNA Bend you
14:37
remember though when mobile phones this before smartphones came in got smaller
14:42
and smaller and smaller y until it was ridiculous I had one that was this
14:46
little circle that you had to flip open like not not even a flip open this way
14:51
you flipped it that way to to answer a call or to type in the tiny little
14:57
numbers like that was that was the trend at the time it was
15:01
going smaller smaller smaller until we went the other yeah but I'll tell you
15:05
and I we can get back to the iPad in a sec but it's something that you said off
15:09
the cuff months ago that I haven't been able to stop thinking about right cuz
15:13
I've got I've got the iPhone 15 Pro Max right the largest iPhone that Apple made
15:20
got the 14 pro Max yeah yeah I like it very much it's the best phone I've ever had
15:25
mhm but sometimes I still think it's not quite big enough right yeah sure so get
15:30
an iPad because as an e-reader for example it's a little bit
15:34
small iPads are very expensive for just something that I could pop a video on I
15:40
I really it's really hard for me to justify that why I'm I'm not going to
15:44
buy an additional iPad while ever I've
15:47
got this iPhone Pro Max but you jokingly said once why don't you just get the
15:53
iPad Mini with a Sim and it's a dumb suggest but I can't
15:59
stop thinking about it like I'd need to carry a bag around cuz it wouldn't fit
16:04
in my pocket a phone yeah and use it as a phone cuz I don't make calls I can't
16:10
remember the last time I made a phone call data plans are not as ridiculous as
16:15
they used to be here anymore so you could just get a pure data plan and way
16:19
you go maybe yeah so maybe next time you'll see me walking around with this
16:24
huge thing against my ear making a call well these [ __ ] iPads are thinner
16:28
than the phones that's how th they are so so on that basis I guess they came up
16:34
with this ad campaign and they wanted to show you know all the stuff you can do
16:38
on an iPad right and I can see I completely see where they're coming from
16:40
and I didn't even think anything of this when I saw the ad which I assume you
16:44
didn't either right you just watch the ad go oh that's cool it's a hydraulic
16:48
press and then it's got a bunch of creative stuff in it like musical
16:52
instruments and paint and like cameras and lenses and it crushes everything
16:58
down down very dramatically cuz and people like that stuff right so it cres
17:04
down very dramatically yeah and then and then afterwards it opens up and it's an
17:07
iPad it's it's smooshed all of that stuff into an iPad what what I
17:12
subscribed to a YouTube channel of a guy who just crushes cameras specifically
17:16
cameras on hydraulic presses yeah pop up on the algorithm every day again you
17:22
people just crushing stuff and I'll watch it it's the thing yeah like
17:26
shooting stuff or like you know that highs speeed camera one that [ __ ]
17:30
Gavin from R slow slow-mo guys all that stuff it's very popular my daughter is
17:35
obsessed with watching people smos packets of eyeliner on YouTube
17:41
that's a thing they get like not eyeliner ey Shadow the pain P powdery
17:48
stuff and yeah the powdery ones they get a like a little needly thing this like
17:53
and I'm not talking the one one stray YouTuber I'm talking there's a trend and
17:58
they they smos it up and they smos the next little Cube up they smos the next
18:03
one should we start doing that as well just just going honestly my wife's like
18:08
why aren't we cashing in on this [ __ ] yeah like that's weird
18:13
okay well but any a lot of people online see well seemingly and again I don't
18:19
know how much of this was just like somebody looked at it this way and then
18:22
now everybody's trying to be like mad at Apple or whatever but the sentiment on
18:27
the internet now is that Apple's trying to say we've destroyed all of this stuff
18:33
because [ __ ] you you don't need it anymore use your iPad [ __ ] you musical
18:37
instruments [ __ ] you real real artists who paint you know [ __ ] like you use
18:43
this digital thing instead so think what they trying to say they just want to be
18:47
angry no they're really not saying that they're absolutely not saying that the
18:50
people at Apple are artists and creators and they're saying that this will do all
18:56
of that stuff you this is a quote from somebody on Twitter
19:02
everything beautiful charming and analog will be destroyed by a flat black screen
19:07
you will never hear music from an actual instrument what do you mean you will
19:12
never hear it don't buy the iPad if you don't want it keep your trumpet it's not
19:17
like they're saying you want this bring me a trumpet I'm going to have to smash
19:20
something in the same thing so are they saying that people who these artists who
19:25
create stuff digitally and I've seen do some up that they're not artists and
19:29
screw those guys cuz it's the same W yeah interesting there's a great
19:34
interview from the early '90s maybe even late 80s with Trent resner right and
19:38
he's on some Cleveland Morning Show
19:42
program right and they're asking him why he thinks using a computer to make music
19:48
is a legitimate yeah uh Pursuit for an artist and he was like well I don't see a
19:54
computer differently to a trumpet or a keyboard like the the doesn't tell me
19:59
what to write I write the music and I use the computer cuz I want a a
20:04
futuristic computery sound and the guy's like that sounds like cheating to me
20:09
he's like no I can't be clear enough the computer doesn't write the music I write
20:15
the music the computer is the instrument now it can well now it can but I don't think
20:22
Trent does it I feel like I feel like you've got to do a lot of mental work to
20:26
think that that's like what this is you know because have you ever seen an ad
20:33
before offended like do and and then I saw I think John grber or somebody
20:39
posted saying is this what happened to Microsoft back in the day you get too
20:43
big right Apple was always this kind of Plucky like um think different right
20:50
they used to do all stuff like this and everyone was like oh good on them you
20:53
know whatever now they are the [ __ ] richest company in the world and yeah
20:59
where's my 25% on the Apple Store yeah yeah everything that they do gets
21:03
scrutinized and if there's a way people can take it the wrong way they [ __ ]
21:06
will definitely I would was fair I'm going to say half the people criticizing
21:13
this are probably doing so on their iPhone yeah you're probably right look
21:17
look I mean it's 2024 if they were crushing a trans person I'd get that you
21:22
know what I mean I'd understand why that was sure controversial but a trumpet
21:28
really we're standing up for trumpet rights now
21:33
but is it the trumpet or is it the idea of the trumpet like I I just don't
21:38
really understand like cuz some I did see someone said like oh they've trashed
21:42
all these actual objects that could have been given to people who wanted them
21:45
it's like wait what are you angry about you angry about the actual objects were
21:48
destroyed or what if you want a trumpet mate so if it was all CGI Ian maybe it
21:52
is for all I know it would be okay it's not the concept you're upset with cuz
21:56
these other people are like saying oh they could have given away they're just
22:00
looking for stuff to complain about because well that's how feel about the
22:03
whole thing a little bit also musicians who
22:09
use software usually use it to record
22:13
music not to synthesize music out of thin air like Matt you are a musician
22:19
you use computers and Etc electronics and yet do you have analog instruments
22:25
in the very room you're sitting right now a lot of pleasure from from playing
22:30
the guitars and lately the piano I'm trying to learn I've always wanted to
22:33
learn Pi I'm very rudimentary piano skills I'm trying to get better and I
22:37
get a lot of pleasure out of it because it's not the same as like the computer
22:40
it's like you said uh like I I'm not obviously I'm not Trent resner but I
22:45
agree with what he said which is that I can tell the computer I have this
22:49
musical idea right I could do it on the guitar would be the easiest tool for me
22:54
to get an idea out but I could also just go on the computer and I tell the
22:56
computer perform these notes and then I can say okay now make it
23:00
sound like a chill make it sound like a [ __ ] whatever I'm still like creating
23:05
it and and it is different to do that versus just sitting down and kind of
23:12
almost kind of feeling it out so like I just don't see how this it's not going
23:15
to go away just because Apple made a [ __ ] thin iPad you know is it
23:19
Kristoff Beck was is that the composer for Buffy yes he used to do the spot
23:24
score for Buffy every week and there's a great DVD extra feature where he says
23:29
he does all the score like the orchestral score on a synth because he
23:34
doesn't have time to record an orchestra each time expensive however he always
23:39
does the solo artists live because if you did it all synth you'd be able to
23:44
tell and you'd say that's a synth score so he does the they tell you yeah like
23:49
right yeah so he does the all the you know the basic generic strings but then he gets an
23:55
OBO yeah whatever whatever your yeah your feature instrument is you get a
23:59
real artist art that person interview was complain TR like using computer
24:04
tuning do I know what FY artists do and the fact that like a punch isn't a punch
24:09
like they're all probably not Luke probably not yeah yeah probably not i'
24:14
I'd go as far saying yeah they thought all that dialogue in Madam web was
24:17
recorded on set that's a deep cut joke listeners if you don't know apparently
24:22
did you heard about this The Madam web ADR I just heard it was terrible I
24:25
haven't seen it all apparently it's like you know talked about the remastered
24:29
versions of Buffy where you can see people are on screen now and they but
24:33
their mouths aren't moving this is a [ __ ] multi-million dollar 20124 movie
24:37
that this happens in there's literally a character standing there
24:41
talking and his mouth's not moving because they ADR dialogue into it so
24:46
weird wow what film that came out recently is in trouble for using oh it's
24:53
Roadhouse was uh shot before the strike edited after the strike they couldn't
24:58
get the actors back so they used AI for some ADR oh
25:04
interesting and everyone who was on strike were like you know why we were on
25:08
strike right yeah H and they're like well no no no we're doing it off the
25:13
actors in the movie and they're like well that's a fine line mate ill
25:18
informed well yeah the we talked about the um late night with the devil thing
25:23
already right would they had the pictures in I think we talked about that
25:26
that oh that was contrs that movie have you seen that no no I know I really I
25:30
want to watch that I might watch that this weekend actually that looks very
25:33
good I'm going to go watch um Fallout I need to do that the show yes yeah you
25:39
should I need to I think it's just okay how many episodes in are you how many EP
25:46
two yeah see no no I felt the same way I I watched the first one I was like oh
25:50
it's okay second one I got to the end and I actually said to Jan I was like
25:54
you know what I don't really mind if we don't watch this that's that's where I'm
25:57
at right now the first one was pretty good but the second one was so flat I
26:01
was like but then she said no no no we should watch it and then I was like all
26:05
right and then after I I it must have been after 3 I was like oh you know what
26:10
no no no it it is good started to click okay something about episode two was
26:14
because you know it was the big fight with the ghoul and uh you know no
26:18
spoilers there's a big fight in a town and I was just like I just don't care
26:22
about this yeah I don't care about anybody I don't know what's going on
26:26
like why why is this happening and all my knowledge I have based on the games
26:31
not on anything that told me in the show yeah yeah I get excited they mention the
26:36
enclave and I go o and Jenna was like oh what's that and I'm like oh they'll
26:40
explain it if it's important I don't want to overload because Jenna hates
26:43
Bethesda doesn't she Yes she hates yeah yeah she doesn't like she doesn't like
26:49
the the look of them there something about the the the character style in the
26:54
animation that she finds offputting like uncanny valley too real yeah and
26:59
the bug she got I told you she tried to play Fallout 4 and she hit this bug
27:03
where you your your um cryo tube doesn't open apparently it was a quite a common
27:06
bug I didn't get it you guys didn't get it she got it and she said she just sat
27:10
there being like I don't know what to do because she didn't know it was a bug
27:15
because she doesn't play these [ __ ] games like and that would be very offputting
27:20
for that was literally her introduction to this this this series of games was
27:24
trying to play Fallout what I [ __ ] do it just doesn't work yeah yeah I read
27:28
recently that if you don't put any points into luck in Fallout 4 before you
27:33
begin you don't even make it into the shelter into the Vault that's funny I
27:40
kind of want to try that because you default with points and like if you just
27:42
if you go in and minus all the way down to zero yeah then you don't make it in
27:48
yeah it's Shut by the time you get there the um the show oh just to wrap up that
27:53
Apple thing that Apple's apologized they're pulling the ad it's not going to
27:56
make it the TV uh yeah well I mean the sentiment is strong
28:01
enough that they kind of had no choice right yeah I'm going to buy an iPad now
28:06
just to piss everyone off and I'm going to smash all my stuff yeah yeah yeah I
28:11
got to smash a trumpet going to smash it so good not my trumpet someone else's
28:15
I'll find a kid with a trumpet and I'll smash it I don't have a trumpet but I
28:18
still just find it very strange that all these people are complaining like this
28:21
one here um everything beautiful Charming analog will be destroyed by a
28:26
flat black screen you must never scul see a sculp bus never hear music from an
28:30
actual instrument never feel the texture of real things a silicon slab and Tim
28:34
Cook would permanently stand between you and the world and I'm posting this on my
28:39
iPhone Yeah Tim Cook came to my house smashed my trumpet and he's foring to
28:45
use an iPad y I just I I don't did
28:50
people say that when they first saw film in 1905 did they say well plays plays
28:55
are [ __ ] now you know about this the other day about how you know like people
29:01
thought books were like people are just going to be [ __ ] reading all day now
29:05
kids are [ __ ] they're not going to remember anything they've got these what
29:08
what you know yeah yeah yeah in their minds looking at these [ __ ] books
29:14
yeah mate there were whole movements the Lite movement went around from printing
29:17
press to printing press smashing the Machinery cuz they were like this is
29:21
[ __ ] they make a TV commercial where they smashed
29:24
them might have been less successful if they had M I didn't watch Fallout yet I
29:30
I I will I did watch the first episode of Shogun oh I got to watch that apparently
29:36
it's like the best [ __ ] show in the world look it is very
29:42
good but I think it's not as good as the original see I love the original I'm
29:46
worried about that because the original is is like a very I guess important piece of pop
29:53
culture for me personally yeah so the strong part of the the original at least
29:59
in the first few episodes for me was this utter sense of isolation that this
30:04
character felt being in Japan not speaking the language not understanding
30:09
the culture even slightly in this he can speak to any one of about a dozen people
30:14
oh really and yeah and like he's having a bit of trouble but not a whole lot of
30:20
trouble that's and uh so it is still very good they're focusing much more on
30:27
surrounding character story lines as well so in the old one it was mostly
30:31
just what he saw and what he understood and what he didn't understand whereas
30:35
this is like a a much more holistic story being you kind of saw everything
30:39
from his perspective in the original and you figured out what going it's like you
30:42
know kind of like I talked about I I like movies that do that where you you
30:46
learn along with the character you learn as they learn yeah this is not that this
30:50
is not that but it's beautifully done it's beautifully done yeah okay I mean
30:55
because it doesn't need to be the same I did because one of the you just made me
30:58
think one of the things I always think of is you know um George Lucas's thing
31:03
about with THX where it's like you uh it's this world and things aren't
31:08
explained you know like what are they doing with the [ __ ] cubes and all
31:10
that kind of stuff you wanted to capture that feeling of these Japanese films
31:13
when he would watch a Japanese film and he'd be like are they doing that yeah
31:18
exactly what is that but they don't explain that because that's just what
31:20
they do in Japan and like when I watched that um there's a a Chinese film called
31:24
riger mortis or the American version is called riger Morse and it's about
31:27
vampires and ghosts but they're the Chinese version of those which are
31:31
completely different and it's like like like the vampires have to count the
31:35
grains of rice in a like there all these weird Legends and and it's just like I
31:41
like what the [ __ ] is going on and it's like oh but that makes it
31:44
awesome never seen thing to get away from those vampires was it you throw
31:48
like right and they had to stop and count yeah and then and to to to
31:52
interact with the ghosts on a physical level you have to put your blood on the
31:55
on the string and then you can wrap the string around and it's just all this
31:58
stuff that's just like wow this is amazing and it's like I don't understand
32:01
it at first but you figure it out from like context clues and and it's not kind
32:06
of like you're not kind of babied into understanding you just have to figure it
32:10
out and then yeah original Shogun felt like that there's this cultural thing in
32:15
China which is awesome and I think it's just DST or maybe it's just budhist
32:19
because there's lots of religions in China but the funeral culture Li last
32:24
seven days and each day there's a different thing to do and the last last
32:28
day you sprinkle rice flour all over the floor in your house and the next day you
32:32
check for Footprints wow yeah just to make sure
32:37
that is is a Chinese custom where you burn paper Effigies of things you want
32:42
the dead to have yes that's [ __ ] awesome I watched a movie it's huge like
32:47
if you go to the markets in Chinatown like in Singapore for example there'll
32:51
just be store after store after store with paper iPads paper cars paper houses
32:57
how do make an Effy of hookers and blow yeah but like yeah so if I died you
33:02
could crush a trumpet and then I would have a trumpet that trumpet yeah yeah no
33:07
because there was a movie I watched I fig I no idea what it was called a
33:10
science fiction movie where one of the characters is a ghost and so the the
33:14
other an main character would like go and buy a burn bur a thing and then the
33:19
ghost would get it he would have it straight away yeah and I was like what
33:23
the [ __ ] and then I found oh that's there was a girl I worked with who was
33:26
legitimately angry one day cuz she was like she'd gone to her grandfather's
33:30
funeral on the weekend and they were like they burnt an a paper iPad for him
33:34
but they didn't burn a paper charger how's he going to charge it
33:40
wow it's a good question where do it's so cool though I mean I I think it's
33:46
cool I mean yeah yeah I don't obviously I don't believe it's he's gon to ask
33:51
someone he's GNA have to borrow a charger now yeah from another ghost
33:54
every time from another ghost yeah well there there's a Hungry Ghost Festival
33:59
every August um in Chinese culture where ghosts are [ __ ] hungry and they're
34:04
coming around and everyone leaves food outside their house for the month of
34:07
August that's awesome because otherwise they're coming in Matt they're coming in
34:12
House of course yeah right yeah so mostly oranges and fruit and stuff
34:17
outside every door that that was sort of one thing I sort of found a little bit
34:21
weird in Vietnam because Vietnam is primarily atheist but they're also quite
34:28
religious as well so they'll have shrines and
34:32
everything so they don't believe in like a religion but they'll leave stuff at
34:36
shrines and stuff for the ghosts that are around but they're also not it's
34:42
like Customs versus what do you actually believe yeah yeah I think the word
34:47
Superstition probably applies except that it sounds like it's derogatory but
34:51
it condescending in a way it's not it's not meant that way look on the subject of Fallout
34:58
um Fallout the show is very popular it was been more popular than apparently
35:04
Bluey and uh that's that's a big call and uh and apparently gry's Anatomy wait
35:10
wait are you going to say crossover are you going to say Fallout Blue Cross that
35:14
would be interesting that would be very interesting I'd love to see bandit in uh
35:19
in the Fallout Universe in the Wasteland hang out dog meat
35:24
yeah yeah yes blue as dog meat I I thought was interesting Grace Anatomy
35:29
apparently is very popular which is interesting to me because Jenna's
35:33
watching it and I don't know that is it just been released on Netflix I I guess
35:38
you probably don't know but I always has watched it but I've never
35:44
seen is that the one with McDreamy is that gra Anatomy um yeah what's his name
35:50
uh Patrick Duffy is that his name Patrick Duffy no Patrick Duffy is from
35:54
step by step isn't he is he am I just making that up oh my God my
36:00
keyboard doesn't work that's going to be a problem for typing yeah that's all it will be a
36:07
problem though to be honest apart from that's fine I'm just going to plug a
36:10
power cord into it in case there we go don't be [ __ ] around with power cords
36:15
mid recording man oh it's definitely not Patrick
36:19
Duffy Patrick Duffy's from step by step
36:23
right Anatomy Patrick Dempsey Patrick Dempsey
36:28
yeah there you go that's you mean no I don't know half the shows on his name is
36:33
Patrick at least so I look like less of a [ __ ] witht on the top 10 close I don't
36:38
know half the shows and the other half shows I'm sort of surprised are on
36:44
there so we've got fallouts number one that's just surpass Bluey then we got
36:49
Grace Anatomy then we have Vikings it's a good show then we have the residents
36:55
certain point it's a good show yeah the residence res residents um unlocked a
37:00
jail experiment all right then NCIS that's always popular I forget that
37:06
show exists that was a trivia question at trivia and then when he read the
37:10
answer I was like I [ __ ] forget that show exists there now a mil can't
37:13
believe they had enough story lines to
37:17
stretch Naval detectives out into an entire show
37:23
literally 21 seasons of NCIS the m just
37:27
the one there's 21 Seasons yeah I've got one episode of Friends
37:33
left oh wow I've done it almost amazing
37:38
I I proba die in my sleep tonight having never watched we've had it on a little
37:42
bit and uh we just watched the the series where Tom celic is oh yeah yeah
37:47
yeah and uh it is very good yeah that where her dad's like maybe I'll let you
37:52
drive my Porsche and you let me and he's like Dad please stop talking yeah yeah
37:57
yeah let it go yeah and then we get on
38:01
to the last three Family Guy okay which
38:04
I bobsburgers which Bobs Burgers is good I could see I don't know bobsburgers and
38:10
then Bobbers is funny you might like it okay then a movie every told me I'd like
38:15
boj Jack Horseman and I wasn't too F I didn't like boj Jack Horseman so
38:20
bobsburgers I think you would like okay bobber is funny yeah right yeah it's
38:25
different yeah it is different I don't know exactly how to describe it's almost
38:31
like it's very dry it's like I like dry like dry yeah but it's I think it's very
38:36
funny yeah it's not like family guide or anything it's very it's its own thing
38:41
mhm yeah it's good show I watched two things this week I watched baby reindeer
38:47
because everybody is talking about it look it's very good but I didn't enjoy
38:52
it and when I when I finished it
38:57
it's it's listed as a comedy but it's not a comedy I mean he it's about a
39:02
comedian and he tells jokes but it's not a comedy and
39:07
like you there there's some really some
39:13
really full-on rape scenes in this show right
39:17
really yeah and one episode where this just just dude just gets continually
39:23
raped and uh like I was like I don't know man like I don't know why
39:29
everyone's everyone's so ened with this show yeah [ __ ] hell um why is it
39:36
called baby reindeer may may I ask okay so the premise of the show is no not at
39:41
all so minute one of episode one you find out so okay he's a Scottish standup
39:47
comedian wannabe comes down to London gets a job in a bar while he's doing
39:52
gigs and this lady who comes into the bar every day calls him baby dear and
39:58
flatters him tells him he's good looking tells him he's funny and he [ __ ]
40:01
loves it after a while it starts getting a bit creepy but by that time where he's
40:07
decided she's probably a stalker he's kind of egged it on for months and
40:12
months and so he's in this he's in this weird position where he doesn't know
40:15
what to do okay that's the story that's the that sounds pretty good it's
40:19
interesting and it's beautifully done but uh I don't know it's not funny it's
40:25
not comedy all right um yeah so genre is TV drama
40:30
British TV comedies this shows offbeat I saw it listed as a black comedy in what
40:35
I just Googled so all right I don't know man I did watch something else though
40:40
that the rape is not as funny as the rape in norsman I guess is what you're
40:43
saying all all the rapes in Norman are funny all of them I don't know how they
40:49
managed to make them that funny cuz you feel like they shouldn't be funny but
40:54
they but also because you know how you you know how you can make fun of
40:57
yourself but you can't make fun of others that's that's the line you can
41:00
you can punch up but you can't punch down yeah Nori is made by Vikings modern
41:05
day Vikings who everyone knows they were rapists so they make jokes about them
41:10
raping I think that's the only way it works yeah that show is [ __ ] funny
41:15
because there's no yeah yeah it's very very good uh the other show I watched is
41:20
Ripley which is a a ret or not it's
41:25
about I say I love that yeah no this is this is a
41:31
remake of The Talented Mr Ripley or rather it is it is a new adaptation of
41:36
the book that that was based on it's the exact same story line so if you've seen
41:40
it uh the movie you know this story except that it's done completely
41:45
differently for starter it's shot in black and white like a European film it
41:49
is the most beautiful television series I've ever watched but also instead of it
41:55
being like this kind of the the whole point of The Talented Mr
42:00
Ripley movie was that like it's so awkward this guy's like copying this guy
42:04
is he does he is he in love with him is he just trying too hard no in this
42:10
coldhearted psychopath right from the start Andrew Scott plays Ripley I like
42:16
him he's good yeah he's excellent in this and they've had to kind of shift it
42:20
because they're meant to be in their 20s so they've kind of had to shift
42:22
everyone's age up 10 years so Andrew Scott can play it not
42:27
he's double that easily right yeah that's right so they've made him 30 and he passes he
42:32
passes if you squint 47 he's 47 is he I mean he looks good
42:39
for it like no question but yeah I I was G to say I know he's older than
42:44
that yeah he's good actor though oh cool yeah I watch something I won't I won't
42:50
go on about it because I already have no I want you to I want you to I want you
42:53
to go right on about it I will say I finished Star Trek bicard season 3 and I [ __ ]
43:00
loved it and I did I cannot believe I'm so glad that I forced myself
43:07
to watch season two even though I could have skipped it but I I wouldn't have
43:11
because it's just not how I I I'm not sure I would I would have watched season
43:14
3 I would never have done that you missed something or I would have yeah I
43:18
would have just never watched season 3 and so I'm just so glad I I forced
43:22
myself season 2 which was absolute garbage and to be honest you you can and
43:26
should skip it it's literally there's a throwaway sentence in season 3 where
43:30
they mention it and then they go anyway forget that [ __ ] literally the character
43:34
says forget that nonsense amazing and uh man yeah the
43:39
last two episodes of season 3 of Picard were
43:45
manipulative but in a way that I was
43:49
like okay pretty awesome yeah if they can convince you to go along with it it
43:54
does it doesn't matter how heavy-handed it is I mean I was smiling as I was
43:58
going yeah all right fine okay let's do
44:01
that then so did they Lean Into The
44:06
Nostalgia Star Trek is that
44:09
yes and and it surprised me surprised me
44:14
that's how I speak now yeah um I like
44:17
that it wrapped up a little plot
44:21
hole from that I hadn't considered yeah there is a plot Hole uh technically and
44:27
I don't I don't want to spoil anything I know this Show's been out for ages does
44:30
anyone give a [ __ ] if I spoil something we've seen it so the rules are there
44:34
we've got the rules why you're not you're not you're not spoiling Picard
44:38
you're spoiling the Next Generation right to be clear well it is a spoiler
44:42
for Picard in a way because until you get to the end of season you won't know
44:47
that this is even a plot Point that's going to come up I see right but in in
44:52
Star Trek the Next Generation bicard is assimilated he becomes lutus of B he
44:57
becomes a Bor and they get him back and they get all the implants out and you
45:01
think he's back to normal turns out not so much and it answers a weird thing that I
45:06
never considered because I've watched these and I just accepted it but like in
45:10
like first Contact he says he can still
45:12
hear the Bor mhm oh right yeah why yeah
45:17
yeah yeah now you know oh okay yeah I
45:20
was like ah huh neat okay yeah that was I guess that was a loose thread that I
45:26
never even thought of cuz I just accepted it and back then I don't think
45:29
they used to worry so much about they just made [ __ ] back then didn't they
45:34
they didn't worry about anything interconnecting as much as they do I
45:37
don't know if they ever intended to go anywhere with that or if it was meant to
45:40
be like metaphorical but there is literally I CU I went back and looked at
45:42
Clips there there and I remember it from first Contact where he says when they're
45:46
nearby he says I can I can like hear them like in my Consciousness kind of
45:51
thing and it's like oh yeah well makes sense now okay
45:57
interesting no it's it's really good yeah you should watch it then you really
46:01
should you skip the rest I kind of want to now yeah but the first four episodes
46:07
of it just were my favorite just because I was not expecting it at all and then
46:13
and then there was like a bit of a dip that had me worried but then it I was
46:17
like you know what but should I watch season two or not no you can skip it not
46:22
unless you not unless you have I'm going to watch I'm going to I'm going I'll
46:25
watch a recap somebody must have done honestly season 2 is awful except for
46:31
still in that red dress see I'm not that was that didn't sway me at all it was
46:36
just so awful it swayed me I got to look at Ellis and
46:43
pill and Jerry Ryan's in it you know if you if that's all you're after Jerry
46:47
Ryan's hot seven of nine oh yeah it's a nice red I she's in three as
46:53
well oh I mean this is a spoiler but I'll be vague we're not getting that
46:59
TV series I was mentioning Luke thank you for not saying
47:04
anything we're not getting that spin-off that I was hoping for oh somebody's dead
47:09
the continued Adventures of somebody sorry if that spoils something
47:15
anything for anybody I didn't want to ruin anything for you
47:20
yeah I mean it still might happen just it' be also it just be yeah yeah yeah oh
47:27
do you know what someone else pointed this out too right and
47:31
this this is very funny there there are a number of things in season 3 Bard
47:35
where they kind of give a middle finger to the previous
47:38
Seasons as a sequence at the end okay I'll try not to be spoilery where a
47:43
bunch of ships get destroyed Starfleet
47:46
ships one of them is the ship that uh what's that [ __ ] that uh character
47:53
from the ninja character from seasons 1 and two oh
47:57
name um card ninja the he's a rulan isn't he yeah
48:04
he's a Romulan what's his name yeah elnor elnor that's the ship elnor was on
48:11
there's literally a scene where they're in the elevator and and he's like oh
48:14
[ __ ] the is it the excelsia the excelsia has been destroyed and it's
48:17
like that's the ship elnor was on just to pick that one to
48:23
mention good stuff so yeah that's all I have to say oh I'll
48:29
say one more thing the fact that they slowly introduced the cast and they
48:36
didn't just shove them all together at the beginning and go well looks like
48:40
we'll have to engage and then they go off in this adventure like that would have been
48:44
dumb they are organically brought into the story yep and some some of it's a
48:50
bit convenient but like yeah it's good it was just it was fun to have them all
48:55
back yeah those last two it's like yeah all
49:01
right [ __ ] it let's go this is a bit contrived but bit on the nose but you're
49:06
all this if you familiar with Battlestar
49:11
Galactica cu the showrunner for this is you'll know you'll know what I mean
49:18
you'll know what I mean all right all right what else well let's
49:23
finish up let's we've got one more bit of news for Star Trek oh oh
49:27
yeah is this news is it news is this a real thing or is this someone asking hey
49:34
would you like to come back to it and Shatner going yeah yeah William Shatner
49:37
says he's up for up for more if if feasible I don't
49:43
think Kirk is dead let's be clear yeah I don't Kirk died in St generation but
49:49
Kirk's not dead because William Shatner didn't want to do anymore and now so
49:54
they killed him off and now they're saying yeah oh he does want to do I
49:58
think that probably maybe that may well have been a condition of him doing it he
50:01
said fine but kill me off I'm done I think stage he was I think back then he
50:05
may have been a little over it and just like that more didn't Harrison Ford say
50:09
that for Star Wars he said I'll come back as long as hans's [ __ ] dead yeah
50:14
I want this to be done that way you can't ask me to come back anymore and I
50:17
think at the time I think he would have been happy for this to be over for him
50:21
and yet Harrison did one more after that yeah that's true he did he showed up for
50:25
uh for the last one but Shatner says and this is interesting
50:29
B because of some of the other stuff we said earlier Shatner seems to be down for being
50:35
deaged to do it or to voice some other
50:40
to do the voice and then have some other you know computer generated thing
50:45
involved because here's an interesting one like a
50:50
93 like he's even so like we've got Captain Kirk's brain Frozen here there's
50:56
a scenario let's see if we can bring him back a little a little bit of this a
50:59
little salt little pepper oh look here comes Captain Kirk so like bring back a
51:03
young version of him that's true they do that I mean that's a side thing that's a
51:07
little throwaway thing but they do have Kirk's body that's in season 3 of Bard
51:10
they mentioned it yeah they retrieved it so it is possible
51:16
that hey let's bring him back I'm in
51:19
let's do it I mean I'll watch it yeah it
51:24
just
51:28
yeah I don't know man if it's like Discovery I'm probably not going to
51:33
watch it no that's not true Discovery I'll watch it I'll watch it if it's got
51:36
shut oh on that note literally the night that I finished the last episode of
51:41
Picard I I I like it ended and I was
51:44
just like wow like is Star Trek good now
51:49
so give me more you can't go from Bard to train true worlds they are different
51:54
I did I did and that was a mistake and it was not fair of me to do that and
51:58
I've since I've since put episode two on and I'm like okay no no no I was
52:04
completely wrong frame of mind yes it's not the same kind of show it's cuz
52:10
Discovery it's way more lighthearted cuz it's it's more into discover cuz it it's
52:14
a spin from Discovery but Discovery I think went stupid where strali World
52:20
Went is trying to capture like the original series like just
52:24
stand every episode's a different thing and it's more it's light on and yeah the
52:30
tone is completely different the way that Pike behaves was VE clashes so much
52:36
with what Picard season 3 was that I was like I was like oh no I'm I [ __ ] up I
52:40
[ __ ] up this is not more of that same thing this is something different yeah
52:45
it is something different but I think it's something different in a good way
52:49
yeah yeah like I said start I've given another shot and I'm like no no no I
52:52
it's not that I don't like it it's just that it wasn't what I was looking for
52:56
yeah that time yeah I should have just sat there in the dark and thought about
52:59
what I'd seen yeah yeah but yeah I'm H I'm happy I'm happy
53:05
you have gone back to it and I think you will enjoy it it does get better and I
53:09
think they've just finished filming season 3
53:14
okay yeah because the characters in strange new
53:18
worlds talk like modern people which is very
53:23
off-putting when it's Star Trek but only because I'm used
53:27
to Star Trek from from the '90s or ' 80s and 90s where where they're all very
53:32
it's all very like it's it's all like pseudo military
53:37
in a way they're all very professionals they're Professionals in space they're
53:41
not Professionals in space and strangely worlds they're normal people in space
53:44
yes goofing around making mistakes and it's it's way more light-hearted yeah
53:49
yes yeah it's it's just a bit more fun yes and I just yeah had to had to
53:56
kind kind of bring myself around to that yeah which if you actually look at it's
54:01
a little bit like next generation was a bit they were more a little bit serious
54:05
but it was also fun back then as well whereas Bard was very serious yeah oh
54:11
yeah the first season of Bard bicard Picard yes
54:16
um [ __ ] huous the second season I
54:21
can't less swearing in season 3 of Bard oh well that's disappointing
54:26
some but less okay and also a little I guess anachronistic
54:32
language CU they do call they Stu say like I think it calls
54:37
sha like a [ __ ] or something like that at one point and it's like ah
54:42
whatever you wouldn't have said that
54:46
ow maybe Luke would have sorry it's being attacked by a cat he's abusing an
54:52
animal I was being abused Al the innocent party here we've got some abuse
54:59
news but that's for the Afterparty before we move into the Afterparty
55:02
though I did want to I want to get Luke's opinion on the big dump that
55:06
Microsoft took on a bunch of game studios this week did you see this I
55:12
actually wasn't a big fan of this game Studio to begin with so you thought [ __ ]
55:19
the employees wait which game Studio they've shut down a bunch of them this
55:22
week um Arcane Arcane okay
55:27
they made prey what are you talking about hold on were they the ones that made
55:32
Dishonored no oh the the so the the I
55:37
download dished the studio that made Dishonored is Arcane but a different you
55:42
know they've in different cities yeah the one that made Dishonored is still
55:46
there the one that got shut down is the one that made redfall which I don't care
55:50
about they also made uh is this was the Austin team made redfall and then they
55:55
also made prey which was a [ __ ] excellent game did you finish it I did
56:02
actually okay yeah that's how it was I tried to play it a few times and could
56:06
just not not get into it no that was excellent um I thought it was Dishonored
56:11
cuz I've not a fan of Dison series I don't know there's something about it I
56:14
just could not get into it is it's the same Studio but it's different different
56:18
office um and then they also got rid of people made highi rush or was that the
56:24
same shudio no no Tango different studio with The Evil Within
56:28
they did they shut down Alpha Dog they shut down roundhouse
56:32
Studios look it's not good I know it's not good but this is actually the world
56:39
in games at the moment unfortunately it's not a Microsoft thing I know but
56:44
they so they've come out and they they've said as a as kind of a followup
56:49
to it they said yeah we uh we did buy these Studios but we just can't afford
56:52
to keep them all open like why' you buy them then buy them yeah well stop buying
56:57
them they were weren't buying them for these ones no I I know yeah that's yeah
57:04
and I know there's I have been seeing an article about there that evidently an XB
57:07
B just come out and going we need to make more smaller games and people going
57:11
but you just got rid of like the people made highi Rush HiFi Rush was not a small
57:17
game it was actually still quite a big game big deal it was still like a 10hour
57:23
game and I think what they're saying when we need smaller games these more sort of 4 Hour
57:28
story maybe yeah right okay like a smaller game is something you can sit
57:33
down and finish in 4 hours type of thing yeah that type of thing maybe look I
57:38
look it looks bad they just went out and purchased all these and then they're
57:42
getting rid of but the game shudio which makes no sense to me at the
57:47
moment it's happening across the board they're shutting down left and right
57:50
yeah I know I know or even though that they're all making billions of dollars
57:54
and they're all setting record profit but they shut down across the board so I
57:58
don't think it's a Microsoft thing I think it's a problem with the industry as a
58:03
whole got too big for its boots like the industry is making a fortune but they
58:09
can't afford to keep any anyone open doesn't make any sense to me yeah he's a
58:14
bit odd I suppose but we wait see but yeah like I
58:19
pray I didn't mind but I never finished couldn't get into high five Rush was
58:24
fine Evil Within I don't know how that got a sequel to be
58:29
honest cuz the first one was terrible all these people online being like oh
58:33
these poor game developers and looks like yeah but what did they make what
58:36
have they done for me lately well no the reason why I'm not these poor game
58:40
developers is is cuz I looked into becoming a game developer yeah it was
58:46
actually a very nearly something I did and the reason why I didn't get into it
58:50
is it's such a volatile industry yeah that's true and it's a choice that people make and
58:56
you always got to have that resume resume up to date no [ __ ] him but it's
59:01
like kind of like uh the way on Films you you form a company to make a film
59:07
this is how AAA Studios work now is you form a company to make a film and then
59:10
if you're lucky they'll hire you again for the next one yeah but but if not
59:14
you're [ __ ] yeah yeah you're gone G studos are quite like that these days
59:20
more more and more so it seems like um the thing that I hate about it
59:26
is is the live service games seems to be the direction a lot of shiters want to
59:30
take whereas you have this investment at the start and then you just keep working
59:34
on that game forever which it works in a small a
59:41
couple of games like I don't know Hill divers 2 have you heard about that yeah
59:45
I have yeah like that's a game like so that Sony D tried to
59:52
destroy I don't think they meant to they they forced everybody to create a PSN
59:55
account out to play it and everyone was like [ __ ] you [ __ ] well well the
59:58
problem is is um it me in 177 countries they couldn't create a PSN account so
1:00:05
they couldn't play play the game anymore yeah that was pretty stupid they rolled
1:00:08
it back but damage they back but damage is done but that's but that's the type of
1:00:13
game shio see game like that working like this live service where there's
1:00:18
constantly stuff happening and they everyone wants that but you can only
1:00:21
have so many games like that but then why is it something like look at Bal
1:00:26
Gate 3 please look at Boulders Gate 3 look how [ __ ] successful that was it
1:00:30
won all the awards it made a fortune like you can make single player
1:00:36
experiences it just it's just a game you make the game we pay for the game we
1:00:39
play the game you pay the game you make your money back you go away yes make a
1:00:44
good product and then people will pay you for it and then you don't to [ __ ]
1:00:48
around and try and charge him for extra stuff here and there like they're not
1:00:52
doing any of that stuff alen wake 2 still hasn't made its money back
1:00:56
yeah remedy have pulled they've cancelled development on what was going
1:01:02
to be their next game to focus on existing franchises so they're doing
1:01:08
they're doing the max pain remakes which they said they were going to do anyway
1:01:12
they're doing a sequel to control but then they're also doing a a a control
1:01:17
spin-off which is a multiplayer version of control oh well I
1:01:22
don't know how I feel about which is the one thing we don't want yeah but also I
1:01:27
don't know I've tried twice to play control and I've not finished it I weird
1:01:32
about it that just I don't know controll is you need to if to play control cuz I
1:01:39
know what you're talking about cuz I struggled to play through it the first
1:01:41
time I sat down the second you need need to sit down and spend the 10 hours and
1:01:46
play it you can't yeah you have to start to end because it is a very strange game
1:01:52
and the second you stop playing and you come back to a week later you go I have
1:01:56
no idea what I was doing yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah the concept is great it's
1:02:02
great I just don't yeah and that's why control two I think will be a bit more
1:02:08
will be a bit easier in that regard yeah yeah control to to control
1:02:13
will likely be what Alan Wake 2 is to Alan Wake yes speaking of I'm I am
1:02:18
progressing through Alan Wake it's longer than I thought the first one it
1:02:23
ends you think it's going to end and then it keep keep going are you playing
1:02:27
the first one or the second one the first one the first one first one yeah
1:02:29
um I just got past the bit where you go to the farm with the
1:02:33
two the old yeah the of Odin yes exactly
1:02:37
and then you end up in prison and I'm literally in the
1:02:42
prison and and and with night yes
1:02:46
exactly right so um I I'm assuming there's only a chapter or two to go there must
1:02:52
be so yeah you're getting there you getting there it just keeps getting
1:02:57
better and better that um that sequence com tedious though I've got to say yeah
1:03:03
correct yeah yeah they they learned from that for number two I mean it's the same
1:03:08
this I'm enoy until I'm not and then I'm like come on yeah that's what like the second one
1:03:15
there it's not there you can actually just run past some stes you to certain
1:03:21
areas very few mostly you just have to stand there and fight until everyone
1:03:26
goes away and then you can progress yeah yeah but yeah you're towards the end
1:03:30
yeah I did shoot a tractor with a flag and that was pretty cool nice nice blew
1:03:35
up well disintegrated I guess more accurately
1:03:40
but you know what we should probably do about now what's that we should head
1:03:45
